Tom, I have two of the OB series reels- one on my 4 wt and one on my 6 wt.
I love them- slightly heavier than some other reels in their class- but I
think they are more durable. For some reason, I am more taken with the 4wt
reel than I am on the 6wt. Drag adjustment is good-some reels a very small
turn on the drag makes big differences in the drag- the Galvans seem to have
a little more forgiveness- if you need to tighten or loosen the drag you
can- without worrying that you overcorrected.
my only bitch is that I don't use them enough:-(
